Read the questions carefully and answer with complete solution
and units. Use the steam tables provided and use 4 decimal places
for solving. Final answers shown are in 2 decimal places. Draw
the T-S diagrams properly with respect to the saturation line
A steam power plant uses the ideal Reheat-Regenerative Rankine cycle where
the steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 4 MPa and 300C. It partially
expands to 600 kPa where some steam is extracted for feedwater heating while
the rest is reheated to the same temperature. After expanding again, it enters
the condenser at 10 kPa. Sketch the schematic diagram and the TS diagram
with labeled points, and solve for mass taken for feedwater heating, Qa, Qr, Wt,
Wp, Wnet, thermal efficiency, and Steam rate. Neglect the condensate pump
work.

An object is shot upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 640 ft/sec, and
experiencés a constant deceleration of 32 ft/sec² due to gravity as well as a deceleration of
(v(t) / 10) ft/sec due to air resistance, where v(t) is the object's velocity in ft/sec.
(a) Set up and solve an initial-value problem to determine the object's velocity v(t) at time
t.
(b) At what time does the object reach its highest point?
